An update on the implementation of the University’s transformation plan that has been approved by Senate and Council. The plan identified eight programmes which we have actively been working on to ensure that implementation happens as quickly as possible.

This communique is a reflection of my thoughts following a series of stakeholder conversations that were initiated in response to concerns about allegations of institutional racism and/or the slow pace of Transformation at Wits. It deliberates on the gap between our professed, institutional commitment to Transformation and the ordinary, everyday experiences at the level of the corridor.
